Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A conventional patterned decoration is usually formed by a specific frame and then winded with light strings to obtain the patterned lighting decoration. In order to prevent from directly lighting, the patterned decoration is always covered with a transparent paper or plastic layer to show a hazy effect. But this design is still monologue and less of specialty.

Accordingly, the present invention is to provide a transparent decorative belt, which can be winded around the frame of the patterned decoration to provide a perfect lighting effect. Now, accompanying with the following drawings, the character of the present invention will be described here and after.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a transparent decorative belt according to the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an application of the decorative belt being used on a patterned decoration.

FIG. 3 is a plan view showing another embodiment of the assembly according to the present invention.

FIG. 4 is a plan view showing a further embodiment of the assembly according to the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Please referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the present invention relates to a transparent decorative belt (1), which is made of transparent or semi-transparent material. The surface, one or both, of the belt (1) can be formed with continuous wave structure (11). In use, the decorative belt (1) is winded around the frame of a patterned decoration (2), as shown in FIG. 2. When the patterned decoration (2) is totally covered by the belt (1), the light emitted from the bulb assembly (21) will be refracted randomly through the wave structure (11) of the belt (1) that can display a perfect shining effect.

Furthermore, in applying on a large area of a big patterned decoration, the decorative belt (1) of the present invention can be assembled to be a plane type in advance, as shown in FIG. 3 or 4. Then the belt assembly plane can be covered directly on the patterned decoration that will be more easily and reduce the winding process and time.

Above all, the present invention uses the decorative belt having wave surface for refracting the light of the bulb to increase the lighting effect, which is novel and utilized obviously. It should be allowed for patent.

Claims

1. A transparent decorative belt having wave surface and being capable of winding around frame of a patterned decorative with light string, wherein the light emitted from bulb assembly of the string will be refracted through the wave surface of the belt.

2. A transparent decorative belt as claimed in claim 1, wherein the decorative belt can be assembled to be a plane in advance for covering on large area of a big patterned decoration directly and easily.
